Martin Waldseemüller has a special place in the history of European cartography and geography, due to the original cartographic works that influenced the expansion of the geographical horizons of Europeans in the 16th century. In the introductory section, the author gives an overview of his most important works, which still attract the attention of researchers in the field of historical geography, historical cartography, toponomastics and related scientific disciplines. Author then analyzes the text and context of Waldzemiler's maps. The aim of this work is to shed new light on geographical knowledge of the Balkan Peninsula and Serbian countries in the age of Humanism and the Renaissance, based on an analysis of Martin Waldseemüller's geographic maps from the early 16th century. Special attention is paid to the contents of the map Tabula moderna Bossine, Servie, Gretiae et Sclavonie, from 1507.

The Drake Silver Maps are 68-mm-diameter silver disks with maps of the sixteenth-century known world featuring Drake’s route of circumnavigation. They were probably stamped with dies. The nine existing medallions have weights from 260 to 424 grains (the heaviest one weighs about 28 g). Each of these medallions has a diameter that is about the same as that of a tennis ball. The lightest one is as thin as a thumbnail, and the heaviest one is as thick as a credit card. This article shows that they were most likely created in 1588–89: the strongest evidence for this is that they used the double-hemisphere equatorial stereographic map projection that was first used by Rumold Mercator in 1587.
